How to Make Fish And Veggie Chowder

  1. Fry 4 slices of bacon in a 5-quart pot over medium heat until crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  3. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pot.
  4. Add 2 pounds potatoes (peeled and diced), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) to the pot.
  5. Sauté over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until onions begin to soften.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 4 cups water, and 2 bouillon cubes (chicken or vegetable).
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  8. Add 1 cup frozen corn, 1 pound of firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock, cut into 1-inch pieces), and 4 cups of milk to the pot.
  9. Return to a simmer.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup milk until smooth.
  11. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the chowder.
  12. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  13. Cook, stirring gently, for 4-6 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the chowder has slightly thickened.
  14. Ladle chowder into bowls.
  15. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and serve immediately with oyster crackers.
